Bouillone

/buː.jɔn/ noun

Definition

A variant or archaic spelling of bouillon, a clear broth made by simmering meat or vegetables in water.

Etymology

From French bouillon, derived from bouillir (to boil), from Latin bullire. The -e ending is characteristic of some older French spellings that have since been standardized.

Kelly Says

This word shows how spelling evolves—bouillon is the modern form, but historical texts might show 'bouillone' with that final 'e' that French used to add to many words for grammatical reasons.
